Over the weekend I went to a working turn of the century farm (preserve) with DD and her family.My 11 year old grandson and I were standing in the doorway to an old barn and for what ever thereason began to dance ----- aren't spontaneous moments the very best? I know it is anothermoment I shall always cherish.

Niece Lisa's lab, Walter,(left - 5 months old) and our Polly (right - 2 years old) had a play date again today. Since the temperature outside was over 80 degrees, Lisa had the pool filled and the pooches had a ball. Here they are, still wet, with Walter guarding a small stick and Polly awaiting the chance to grab it and run. They had a great time- besides them being cool in the pool they managed to shower both Lisa and myself --- I smelled like wet puppy.

How lucky to be able to meet in person my long time online friend, Lynn. We had lunch together and then, of course, had to check out a few shops --- here we are in a wonderful bead shop, LOST CITIES BEADS, in Old Town, San Diego, CA. Another super shop that also had some great beads was right next door, SHEPHERDESS BEADS. Shepherdess also had some wonderful yarns and great patterns. I indulged in both :-) If you are in San Diego it is well worth the trip to Old Town just to visit these two shops.
